The aerodynamic design of aircraft surfaces is subject to many constraints and is refined interactively during the design cycle. One of the constraints is the manufacturing tolerance at joints, surface roughness/waviness and gaps. During the design phase acceptable tolerances are set by the aerodynamic department to minimize their effect on performance an...

Improving the efficiency of future transport systems is a significant aspect of the UK’s strategy towards sustained economic growth. This not only requires innovation in the areas of aircraft design and manufacture, but also a focus on means of improving the efficiency of processes for aircraft maintenance and operations. The overall project objective is ...

A proof of market study is to be performed to assess the market potential for an innovative water-hydraulic Directional Control Valve (wDCV) for power transmission and motion control that combines the advantages (and avoids the disadvantages) of both oil-hydraulic and pneumatic valves. The study will help understand the current challenges in markets and i...

Abrasive waterjet cutting and fire suppression systems are a potent tool for the modern fire service. For certain fires types - difficult to tackle using traditional water or foam techniques - they can offer astonishingly rapid effects while simultaneously protecting firefighters from significant hazards and minimising property & building damage. BHR is a...
